Wish this would apply as well to the Armenian genocide denial content and other genocides in general. Cause, you know, there have been many more other genocides throughout the history but apparently there is only one that fits the Western/Eurocentric view

> Wish this would apply as well to the Armenian genocide denial content and other genocides in general. Is this a thing? (Except in Turkey?) If so whoever tries should absolutely not be allowed to get away with it.

Says a lot that this comment got downvoted... If the Armenian genocide would have the same amount of "advertising" as holocaust does it would be on the same level of "notoriety". The media complex creates a very disproportionate cult around certain events: the holomodor claimed 2x lives as the holocaust and yet it's hardly ever mentioned. Everyone knows of holocaust but most will go "huh?" when you ask them about holomodor. Funny how history can spinned to make certain events world famous and others to dissapear.

  “Holodomor” is mentioned all the time by the conservatives and neo-Nazis that made it a meme in the first place

    As far as I can tell it is a historical event that actually happened (just like the Holocaust), so I'm not sure why you're trying to marginalize it by associating it with neo-Nazis (and conservatives, who I notice you're trying to smear by association).

I can see this working well for those working to expose the current Yemen genocide situation, too. Unless, of course, it is selectively used to allow denial of western war crimes and crimes against humanity.

That's not really true, there are a very large number of recognized genocides. There's only one we accidentally stopped though.
